AUSTRALIA IS THE DOORMAT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Successive Australian governments have, for at least the last 40 years, slavishly followed the United States of America into every adventure it has perpetrated in the name of democracy and world order.

Need one mention Iraq, Afghanistan, the middle east in general  and Palestine/Israel in particular?

As wars in these countries have "progressed from strength to strength" (irony intended!), human rights have continued to be disregarded more and more.

Think of Julian Assange, Bradley - now Chelsea Manning, Guantanamo Bay, torture, rendition, drones and everything illegal according to the International Criminal Court legislation, and think of the war horrors all these countries continue to be subjected to.

Think also of the foot soldiers who carry the burdens of the irresponsibilities of all our governments and think of the people we end up with as citizens - broke and destroyed and prone to suicide on an alarming basis day by day.

Then, while you are sitting and weeping and in despair, read the following items from "Courage to Resist" in the United States and ask yourselves why there aren't more organisations such as this around the world including Australia!
